-Unlock all trophies

You know the drill. Earn all other trophies to get the Platinum trophy for this game.

Blood Oath -Bronze
-Complete the MP Training in Olympus

Complete the tutorial when first playing the game’s multiplayer modes. You must complete the tutorial before starting multiplayer, so it cannot be missed.

Prison Break -Bronze
-Free Kratos from his imprisonment

Story Related. Finish the first QTE event at the start of the game.

Gotta Hand It To You -Bronze
-Defeat the infected hand of Aegeon

Story Related. Complete the first boss encounter of the game. The hand will appear many times throughout the first area.

Unleashed -Bronze
-Disarm a grappled enemy

This is an easy one. Use R1 to grapple and press circle to disarm an enemy.

Big Spender -Bronze-Upgrade any Magic to the next level

Upgrade any of the four magics in the game using red orbs from the pause menu (Fire of Ares, Ice of Poseidon, Lighting of Zeus, or Soul of Hades).

Round and Round -Bronze
-Solve the Rolling Crusher Puzzle

Open Minded -Bronze-Win the buttonless MiniGame against a Juggernaut

Once the red notification appears above a Juggernaut’s head, grapple using R1 to initiate the mini-game. To win, hit square or triangle for light or heavy attacks respectively, and dodge to the left or right when attacked. Keep attacking and Kratos will eventually slice open the Juggernaut’s skull, netting you the trophy

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. BadBoy! -Bronze
-Perform a 1000 Hit Combo

In the stage called The Furnace there is a section of gameplay where Kratos is trapped between two canisters pouring flames. Kratos is attacked by a number of Satyr enemies. Due to the close quarters, this is the perfect time to earn this 1000-hit combo. It’s even easier if you are alternating between spamming a fully upgraded Lightning spell and increasing its hit streak by alternating L1 and R1 repeatedly, followed by holding square to do Kratos’ spinning attack.

Swinger -Bronze-Ring out an enemy with the club

The club is a World Weapon. Simply use it to defeat an enemy in full and you will get this trophy.

Snakes on a Train -Bronze
-Ride the snake back to the Tower of Delphi

-Use all 5 World Weapons in Combat

During combat, use each of the following World Weapons:

Sword

Javelin

Sling

Club

Shield

Hot Lunch -Bronze
-Win the Buttonless MiniGame against a Manitcore

When facing the Manticore, fight until the red halo appears over his head. At this point, grapple using R1 to initiate the mini-game. Keep attacking with either square or triangle for light or heavy attacks respectively, and be careful to dodge his tail strikes.

Fight your way through the game and this should happen eventually. If it doesn’t, you’re probably not playing the game right.

You Bastards! -Bronze
-Treat the Martyr of Hecatonchires poorly

You can get this trophy when you come across a torture room with a stretched out man and another man stuck in a trap. Release the first man from the trap, then attach the stretched out man to the hook. Pulled the stretched out man into the trap that the other man was stuck in. Then trigger the pulley that the hook is attached to, tearing the stretched man in half. After this, you will need to “heal” him with the amulet.

Hello, Friend -Bronze

Use the Oath Stone of Orkos in combat by holding L2 and pressing triangle while fighting enemies. Kratos’ body double will attack. Do this ten times and the trophy is yours.

-Hit 100 Enemies with the Oath Stone of Orkos

See Hello, Friend, only remember to do this repeatedly until you’ve earned this trophy. May require a separate playthrough from when you attempt to earn the trophy “Hold Still Please”.

Tell Me How You Really Feel -Bronze
-Kill 25 Enemies using the Rage of the Gods

Once your rage meter is filled, simultaneously press L3 and R3 at the same time to trigger the Rage of the Gods. Then defeat as many enemies as possible. The trophy is cumulative and does not needto be done within a single Rage of the Gods.
